Safety practices allow sex workers to protect their mental and physical health, ensuring their well-being is in check and they can achieve a more fulfilling work life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex workers still face risks, including stigma, harassment, and physical violence. Addressing these problems head-on creates better working conditions that put sex workers\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/menstruation-and-mental-health\/\">mental and physical health<\/a> first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Challenges of staying safe as a sex worker<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, sex workers still face challenges, no matter their niche. Below we\u2019ve listed some common challenges to raise awareness. Learning about the problems is the first step to tackling them with actionable solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Discrimination and stigma.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This can lead to social isolation, problems accessing healthcare and services, and mental health issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Criminalisation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In some countries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/is-sex-work-legal-in-uk\/\">sex work is illegal<\/a> which makes it more dangerous<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Harassment and violence. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex workers are often at risk of physical and verbal violence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lack of legal protection. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes no labour protections and safety protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"clientscreening\"><strong>About the client screening process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first steps sex workers can take towards safety is screening clients. The client screening process is the act of checking your client\u2019s background before accepting their booking. This can include talking to them for some time, running their details through checking databases, and verifying their identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should you screen clients?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screening your clients is a step towards safer working practices. After you\u2019ve checked through a client\u2019s background, you can make better-informed decisions about who you work with. If anything looks dodgy, you can turn down their booking and opt for more professional clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to identify client red flags<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure what you\u2019re looking for? <em><strong>Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/escort-client-red-flags\/\">red flags<\/a> that may signal a bad client:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aggressive behaviour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refusal to provide relevant information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disrespecting boundaries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of substance abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inconsistent\/misleading information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of personal hygiene<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being aware of these red flags will help you realise who is wasting your time and who might pose problems in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top strategies for client background checks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Client screening and background checks add an extra layer of protection to your working environment. However, before you start asking them for more information, try these background check tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/clienteye-and-vivastreet-partnership\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ClientEye safety app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows sex workers to report timewasters, no-shows and abusive or dangerous clients among others. By checking a potential client\u2019s phone number, you can immediately see whether this number has previously been reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, you can use the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nationaluglymugs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NUM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (National Ugly Mugs) database to check client emails and numbers. NUM is a UK charity dedicated to providing safety tools and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/num-vocational-support-services\/\">support to sex workers<\/a>. Here, you can see if your client has been reported before, get updates about incidents in your area, and get support if you face an incident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some sex workers like to ask potential clients for references from previous sex workers. This can establish trust between them, and it will show the client has been respectful to sex workers in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also ask clients to provide a photo ID to verify their identity. This proves they\u2019re not lying, and having more information about them provides you with safety and tools in the future if anything goes wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want to ask questions, you can use online searches to your advantage. For example, checking social media profiles, criminal background checks, and public records. In some cases, you can also look at online review platforms for comments from previous escorts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1.png\" alt=\"business woman pushing a man away\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sex-worker-safety-1-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"clearcommunication\"><strong>How to maintain clear communication with clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside conducting background checks, sex workers need to ensure their communication is clear throughout client interactions.

But why are these so important?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/sex-work-client-boundaries\/\">Setting boundaries<\/a> allows sex workers to protect their well-being, safety, and autonomy. It also ensures there\u2019s mutual respect, and if a client pushes back against boundaries sex workers should drop them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundaries might include what you will or won\u2019t do, how much personal information you give clients, and what hours you work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundaries are there to keep both parties safe and ensure a satisfying experience for everyone involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"informedconsent\"><strong>What is informed consent?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/a-z-sexual-consent-in-sex-work\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informed consent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is about open and honest communication. This is where the client is provided with transparent information about the services on offer, allowing them to make a clear decision with all the facts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, informed consent includes what type of services are on offer, the boundaries, the fees, and the duration of the services. Clients must clearly agree to the services while understanding the parameters and risks involved before proceeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informed consent is an important step towards better well-being for sex workers and clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to provide clients with informed consent?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex workers are responsible for informing clients. The best way to provide informed consent is by discussing your services beforehand with all the relevant information, risks, and safety precautions. You should check in with the client throughout this conversation to ensure they\u2019re okay with everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"physicalsafety\"><strong>Physical safety with clients and self-defence techniques<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical safety is a top focus for sex workers, and taking steps to ensure you\u2019re physically safe is paramount. Here are some of the top tips for keeping yourself physically safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ways to protect yourself physically include:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screening clients beforehand<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching for red flags<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trusting your intuition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing clear expectations &amp; boundaries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-defence training<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating emergency plans\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrying safety equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying alert while working<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergency plans are a must for any sex worker.

Emergency plans tend to include exit routes, a trusted contact on speed dial, and how to stay safe until help arrives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety equipment is also recommended in case of an emergency. Personal alarms and personal defence spray can help when you need to get out of a situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-defence training is also advised to ensure sex workers can protect themselves. The best way to top up your defence knowledge is via classes that include physical and verbal techniques for de-escalating confrontations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if a sex worker is taking in calls they should aim to remove any items that could be used as a weapon and any items with personal information on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need more advice?
